i don't really consume american media so i can't tell.

i literally saw this take on lemmy.world yesterday

"clearly this is a distraction from the epstein files"

blue checkmark -> opinion dismissed

they'll tell you that this is exactly what the fascists want for some bullshit reasons like "trump has an incentive to enact martial law and postpone elections" as if they need a valid reason to do anything

i was raised in a polish catholic household. my father pointed at black people in public and said "look at that monkey!" - my father told me homosexuals are disgusting. my father midgendered a family member who transitioned at every opportunity with a mocking tone. i got severe brainrot from that and my underage ass had unsupervised internet access... you can figure out how that went. i had all these brainworms, was active on 4chan and posted stupid shit like "haha 13/52" - as soon as i turned 18 and experienced freedom i realized i was queer and was coping all my life. due to my job i also got a sense of community with people of different races and backgrounds. i never approved of my dads overt racism (thank god), so i didn't alienate my new community. that's when i realized the media landscape i surrounded myself with was against me and the people who positively influenced me. from there on it took like 2 years to get "healed". i probably have skeletons in my closet and ongoing brainworms - but i learned to accept my past and my influences. and i learned to change my mind and question my own opinions. i'm not a saint tho but i'm willing to learn :3

i used to work in car sales (i deserve shit for it) and 5 years ago premium brands slowly forced subscription models on the market and effectively cut out dealerships in the sales process. the brand lynk & co is completely based on volvo and geely technology, and you can't own a lynk & co, you can just subscribe to the car.

of course the marketing terms for these moves were "flexibility" and "everything is covered except fuel", some people were dumb enough to fall for it and effectively paid 700€ a month to own nothing. (i got double mad because i got no commission for this)

glad i'm out of car sales and regained my soul.

how do you reach this stage of porn addiction?
